Also pretending you are a medic is a big nono on the Geneva's convention.
It looks like they are trying to get the war crime bingo.

Pretty much a good argument for forcing companies to open source any tech like this once it loses support.

From its start, Gmail conditioned us to trade privacy for free services
I'll blame the early internet. So often stuff was for free, either due to the dot com bubble or just because someone wanted to create something.
More often than not the second one.
I mean, there were pages full of flash video games and animations with that sole purpose, no ulterior intentions.
When google came around, it too seemed amother neat free thing.

Linus Torvalds releases Linux 6.6 after running out of excuses for further work

It's also mind blowing to consider that as many other projects, both Linux and Python started as a hobyist project never meant to do more than cater to some personal needs.
This taught me how important is allocating time for your team for their personal projects, as the next school romance anime tagging system could be the cornerstone of every AI in the future.

I'd be angry too
My theory is that the other members of the Federation saw humans as a bunch of chaotic, violent monkeys that somehow had gotten into space and in time would spread their flavor of chaos and violence across the universe.
So it makes sense they thought better training the puppy before it grows up.

Real-world CO2 emissions of cars are 20% higher than indicated. For plug-in hybrids they are 350% higher.
That doesn't mean what you think it means:
"For plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, the real-world CO2 emissions were on average 3.5 times higher than the laboratory values, which confirms that these vehicles are currently not realising their potential, largely because they are not being charged and driven fully electrically as frequently as assumed."
This is mostly an infrastructure issue. If these cars had readily available charging points, that wouldn't be the case.

Discovering obsidian has been a blessing for my sanity and made me less lazy for taking notes.
Plus I can use latex to transform md into docx and there's decent pdf support so I don't need to play with the circus of WYSIWYG pain that's MS Word.

Elon's got Putin's back.
"There was an emergency request from government authorities to activate maritime support all the way to Normandie.
The obvious intent being to invade most of Nazi Europe.
If I had agreed to their request, then my company would be explicitly complicit in a major act of war and conflict escalation."

I may or may not have done some cracking since the early 90s.
Back then three things were true for me to start that hobby:
This was mostly me trying to keep playing games after giving the disk (or disks) back.
However, once I might have cracked GTA (the original), the rush of finally understanding how a debugger worked and figuring it out, made actually playing less apealing than the whole figuring it out.
It made me rent games then just try figuring out how to crack them, but that was financially killing me as again I had nothing to begin with and I was now at minus some.
Granted that none of the early protections were anything similar to Denuvo.
In most cases, it was just a case of blocking a cd check here and there. Some had hilarious protections where the game would screw the player if detected: RA2 would be probably the most famous I remember. Often than not it made me paranoid if I had triped a trap and the game was being unfair or bugged.
Somehow I kept going until I shifted towards the Hackintosh scene.
Then when the first humble bundle appeared and people pirated it, it disgusted me to no avail and finally left this part of my life.

That's why I do like Gilbert Gottfried and do two voices: one in public and one for friends and family.

Which by the way is why you should avoid disposing of a crow's dead body when other crows are around: that makes you suspect number one and they have fun ways of getting vengeance. In addition, crows are good at remembering people's faces and can communicate that to their group.
You've been warned.
